Pink Lemonade Mini Bundt Cakes Recipe

June 4, 2012 by 7 Comments

This week I’ll be sharing details of a recent project I worked on for Hens and Chicks Parties ‘party in a box’. They are introducing their new “tea party” package, which I used to style a party {see the tea party design here} and to share ideas you can incorporate to add your own special touch.

I wanted to start of with the adorable mini bundt cakes I used in the shoot. These are easy to make but they feel a little more dressed up than the usual cupcakes. I found the mini bundt cake pan  and I just love how the cakes look. The pink icing drizzled on top makes it even easier to color coordinate too! See the recipe below.

Pink Lemonade Mini Cakes

  • 1 box White Cake Mix
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup pink lemonade frozen concentrate – thawed
  • 1/2 cup water
  • White Frosting
  • Red food coloring

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Combine cake mix with egg whites, oil, lemonade concentrate, and water, according to box directions.

Scoop batter into mini bundt cake pans that have been sprayed liberally with cooking spray.

Bake as directed on box, for cupcakes. Allow cakes to cool completely before frosting.

Tint icing with food coloring {1 drop at a time} until pink color is achieved. Microwave the icing in 30-second intervals until it is fully melted and smooth. Do not overheat.

Drizzle cakes with the icing using a spoon and a free-form pattern. Let cakes set up in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

 

Stay tuned for more projects from this shoot for Hens and Chicks Parties!

    Hi Chris,

    These look delicious and easy! Also thanks for the feature. I am working my baby sister’s baby shower and these will definately make cut.

    I think we would be great for gifts like the chocolate cake in the jars. How many do you get out of the bundt cakes and how much batter do you put in the pan.

      Brenda,
      My pan makes 12 at a time and I put in just enough batter to cover the center point. I actually used the rest of the batter to make a cake layer for another project, so I would guess I could have gotten at least 24 mini cakes.
